Your Feature Request / Idea
I would like to see researchable building upgrades to allow existing upgradeable buildings to have a viewing area and and increase the range and/or radius of existing viewing structures.
There might be better methods, but at least in my mind, it would go as such: Two types of building upgrades could be researched, Viewing Radius 1.0 and Viewing Range 1.0. Multiple installs of the same upgrade would stack.
A Viewing Radius 1.0 would provide (or increase) 60 degrees of viewable area, centered on the "front" of the building (towards the release gate in the Hammond Creation Center for instance). The base range would be comparable to the lower end viewing gallery.
Viewing Range 1.0 would increase the range of a building's viewing area by 50%. These improvements would be calculated separately, radius first with the range improvement affecting the entire radius. If a range improvement is placed on a building with no viewable radius, it would provide a 30 degree viewing area with approximately half the range of a viewing platform, but that initial 30 degree would not stack when combined with any other radius, whether existing or improved. Ultimately, mixing the two types should always produce a uniform range throughout the viewing radius.
Applying these upgrades to a monorail station or Gyrostation would alter the viewing area of the vehicle.
